How to use Google Plus Integration in Android Studio

Question

I'm making application and I want to integrate it with G+, to make user login with Google account. To create app I use Android Studio.

I read many question and answers on Stack Overflow but I can't fix my app!

Here are steps I made:
1. Add google-play-services.jar to libs folder of my project
2. Click "Add As Library" on jar file in Android-Studio project explorer
3. Add script to java file from example in the web
4. Add google-play-services.jar library to Build.Gradle file
5. Starting the app makes it crash

The question is: How to add Google+ ingeration to application made using Android Studio, am I doing something wrong?, Thank your for you help.

Here are my source codes:

Java Class:

import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;
import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks;
import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener;
import com.google.android.gms.plus.PlusClient;

public class StartActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener, ConnectionCallbacks, OnConnectionFailedListener {

    private static final String TAG = "ExampleActivity";
    private static final int REQUEST_CODE_RESOLVE_ERR = 9000;

    private ProgressDialog mConnectionProgressDialog;
    private PlusClient mPlusClient;
    private ConnectionResult mConnectionResult;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.loading_screen);

        mPlusClient = new PlusClient.Builder(this, this, this)
                .setVisibleActivities("http://schemas.google.com/AddActivity", "http://schemas.google.com/BuyActivity")
                .build();

        mConnectionProgressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
        mConnectionProgressDialog.setMessage("Signing in...");

        initializeSplashElements();

    }


    ///     ***     ///         PLUS INTEGRATION        ///     ***     ////

    @Override
    protected void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        mPlusClient.connect();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
        mPlusClient.disconnect();
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
        if (result.hasResolution()) {
            try {
                result.startResolutionForResult(this, REQUEST_CODE_RESOLVE_ERR);
            } catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
                mPlusClient.connect();
            }
        }
        // Save the result and resolve the connection failure upon a user click.
        mConnectionResult = result;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int responseCode, Intent intent) {
        if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_RESOLVE_ERR && responseCode == RESULT_OK) {
            mConnectionResult = null;
            mPlusClient.connect();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
        String accountName = mPlusClient.getAccountName();
        Toast.makeText(this, accountName + " is connected.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisconnected() {
        Log.d(TAG, "disconnected");
    }

You can use Google Repository, without import any libs (.jar) in your code

UPDATE: if you looking for Google (or third party) library you can check: http://gradleplease.appspot.com/ (by Chris Broadfoot, a Google Developer)

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.4.52'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0'
    // compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar') // OLD: can remove

    // Other useful library
    // compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.1.0'
    // compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:19.1.0'
    // compile 'com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:19.1.0'
    // compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:19.1.0'

    // Note: these libraries require the "Google Repository" and "Android Repository"
    //       to be installed via the SDK manager.
}
